Conceived as a short-term remedy to the occasional ailment of acute labour shortages in key industries, the indentured-labour service had to be dismantled by the Conservatives owing to its inevitably scandalous abuse by disreputable employers.

The final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him. – William Lyon Phelps
I went into a Beverly Hills shop to buy an attache case. They had 250 cases on their shelves. I asked an attractive saleswoman if they carried one made of belting leather. She said ‘no.’ That was the end of the conversation. She made no attempt to show me another case that would provide equal service. I didn’t buy an attache case. – Stanley Marcus
